A telegram from Major-General Maury,
urging me to send to Mobile
at once all the troops that could be spared from my district, was
received about midnight of the 24th instant. ***** The troops above
referred to have been sent by first train after the reception of
General Maury's order. In consequence of an unfortunate railroad
accident {must be on the Alabama &
Tennessee River RR} there was no train yesterday.
